Feats
Here are feats for use in your 5th Edition game.
Alchemist
Prerequisite: Proficiency in herbalist kit or alchemist’s
supplies
You are skilled at mixing strange chemicals and
substances to produce items of wonder. This skill allows
you to craft alchemical potions and elixirs.
When crafting an alchemical substance, the total
market value you can craft in a single downtime day
increases to 10 gp.
You also know how to brew the following alchemical
concoctions:
 Adrenal Distillation. A creature that ingests or is
injected with this serum gains 2d4 temporary hit
points for 1 minute and can make a Constitution
saving throw against one effect they are currently
suffering from. This elixir confers no benefit to
undead or constructs. A dose has a market price of
50 gp.
 Alchemist’s fire.
 Antitoxin.
 Elixir of might. Choose one ability score at time of
brewing: Strength, Constitution, or Dexterity. A
creature that drinks this elixir gains advantage on
ability checks from the chosen ability score for 1
minute. This elixir confers no benefit to undead or
constructs. A dose has a market price of 50 gp.
 Medicinal Tonic. A creature that drinks this tonic
substance gains advantage on saving throws against
disease for 1 day. It confers no benefit to undead or
constructs. A dose has a market price of 50 gp.
 Potion of healing.
 Metallic Polish. This thick oil coats one item in a
thin layer of gold or silver. The item is considered to
be made of that substance for 8 hours. Each time a
weapon covered in metallic polish deals damage, the
remaining duration is decreased by 1 hour. A dose
has a market price of 50 gp. (The coating is obviously
artificial upon inspection and thus cannot be used to
inflate an item’s value for sale.
 You may be able to craft other alchemical items and
additional potions at the discretion of the Dungeon
Master. These might require more exotic ingredients
or special recipes.
